26/02/2014
Across the wider fashion industry in Spain, only footwear and leather achieved growth in 2013. Unlike textiles and finished garments, which showed declines of 0.7% and 5.9% respectively, leather and footwear’s manufacturing output achieved growth in value in 2013 of 2.4% compared to its results in 2012.

This represents a significant turnaround; the 2012 result indicated decline compared to the previous year of 6.4%.

Footwear and leather’s results for December 2013 were particularly encouraging, showing growth compared to the same month in the previous year of 26.7%, and footwear manufacturers and tanners registered 31.4% more orders than in December 2012.
